The RRX is an extremely compact LED luminaire design to be tolerant of radiation within the harsh environment of an accelerator. Engineered only with materials with a high threshold displacement energy, the RRX does not contain any traditional silicon semiconductor devices that are easily damaged by radiation. The seamless 2″ low-profile housing enables the fixtures to be mounted in almost any location and its innovative direct-AC driverless technology provides extreme reliability and zero maintenance. RRX is built to last in a typical radiation accelerator application where most are immediately met with catastrophic failure.
Radiation-resistant technologies leveraging Gallium Nitride (GaN) avoid the use of traditional silicon semiconductor devices like MOSFETs, which are vulnerable to radiation damage. Instead, RRX utilizes advanced materials with high threshold displacement energy, such as GaN and Silicon Carbide (SiC), ensuring superior durability and performance in high-radiation environments.
